According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.

No, this was purely the pilot's fault, and they're employed by Southwest. The government cuts have affected ATC, but they aren't responsible for the pilots knowing the difference between a runway and a taxiway.

A dryer costs about as much as 2 rolls of cheap filament, and if you don't print very often then you'll probably waste more than 2 rolls to failed prints. A dry box with desiccant can also work, but it doesn't remove moisture efficiently - it just keeps things dry, so it won't recover your wet filament.

On the other hand, if the trick with the heated print bed is working for you, that's probably good enough. A cheap kitchen scale will tell you if it's removing moisture.

I think you meant "going to nightclubs as a white foreigner in Japan"

That's very nieve. You can believe in a woman's absolute right to choose while also acknowledging that sometimes people do heinous things.

When you say "abortion is moral," do you mean that it is never immoral? As in, you literally can't think of a situation where it would be wrong for a woman to get an abortion?

What about the last part: "viewing disagreement as moral monstrosity?"

Maybe something is loose, like the tube that the filament travels through? It definitely seems to be clicking during retractions, but if the print quality isn't affected then it's probably not the stepper motor or extruder.

Look at what happened to the stock on Feb 11, it dropped, came back up for a few days, then dropped again. That could be repeating.

Idk, trying to charge a wired mouse sounds more like sleep deprivation than incompetence. Especially if it happened in a hospital.

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
